Welcome from Chicago!
Craig's suggestion is a good one. Chicago pipe club is a good time. The shop we meet at (Arlington pipe and cigar) is pretty well stocked and worth a visit even if you can't make it to the club meeting. Also in Chicago, Iwan Ries is a must. It's one of the oldest tobacconists in the country.

Why: It will save time for others when you mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos, wildfires, air quality, etc.
How: Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose "Account Details", which brings up "My Account". "My Location" is halfway down.
Iwan Ries the THE oldest tobacconist in the USA, but IIRC, Sutliff predates it as a tobacco company. Iwan Ries is the second oldest company in Chicago, predating the Great Chicago Fire. It has moved a time or two. Amazingly , it has had the same phone number for over a century.
I left the store that day with an ounce each of Blend 432, Belmont and Tashkent (their suggestion). Called them two weeks later and said, send me three more! That was B-94, Century and Royal. Century really struck me as a good one so 11/1 at midnight, I ordered their Thanksgiving Day blend and 8 oz of the Century.
